My dream career would be working as a music therapist. I am not quite sure which type patient group I would like to work with, but as of right now, I am leaning toward working in a hospital. I would definitely be working in the Columbia area. I don't think that my salary would be a big deal to me if I were doing what I wanted to do. The middle class would where I would like for my family as a whole to be economically. To help prepare me for this career, I am putting forth s lot of effort and work into all of my classes. I try to expose myself to as much music therapy knowledge as I can. And I am (and will have to continue to) work on my patience, as that will be crucial in music therapy.
Of course I would be doing all of this with my husband, Brandon by my side. (Hopefully, there won't be any little ones in the picture at this point. :/ ) And that right there could be a setback in my planned out future. Having kids in college...probably not the best idea, and also not in the plan. But at the same time, I think that being settled down younger has its advantages. I know that for me personally, Brandon is one of my two biggest inspirations, and he is always there for me. I think it will benefit me to be married to him as I am starting my career.
Right now, my star gazing dream is my wedding. It's only 230 days away! I can't wait for my new life and what it has in store for me. I know that I will be so happy with it. I could write a whole dissertation on my wedding, but I won't do that tonight.
Anyways...in five years from now I hope to be a great music therapist, a wonderful wife, and a good friend.
Rachel, I'm happy that you already see yourself as a committed Music Therapist and that you're already looking for your specific specialization. Do realize, though, that once you add another person into your equation, you immediately have to factor that other person's dreams into your own, and the unexpected is more likely to happen. Luckily, you're in a growth field, so you'd have a good chance of getting a job should a move or children be in your future.
ReplyDeleteRachel, first off...you're the best twin ever! :) You have such a big heart and it's filled with love for God and all people! I know that you will do great things throughout your lifetime!! I can't wait to see what your future holds!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you and Brandon, and I wish you both the very best in the future! You're on the right road to what you want to do, and it's so great that you're working this hard for it with so much going on. Everything takes time, and it'll be worth it in the end!
ReplyDeleteWon't we all be excited after that Board Certification test? xD I really am happy for you and Brandon. You guys seem so cute from the stories you tell me, and it makes me sort of jealous (I wish me and my boyfriend were like that -cough cough-). AND NO LITTLE ONES. You will wait for those and I'll make you. :) Congratulations on your soon to be marriage and a life that I'm sure you'll be looking forward to. <3
